    my bit a drival for the day

    sadly no shopping for me today:( got loads of coupons burning a hole in my pocket too.

    been helping at a fete all day(funds for DS and DD kung fu group, half to parish as it was their fete)
    knackered now was up early and making toffee apples at 8.15 this morn.
    thankfully the weather stayed nice and we had a very good day.
    we started with 3 pasting tables full of cakes and had less the half a table left when we finished and we were cleared out off over 200:eek: tombola prizes . so a very good but long day.

    hope others have had a good day too.

    :eek::eek::eek: been so busy just realised i forgot to get the daily mail for the rewards club code:eek::eek:

    Morning Lemmings, CW, Bully and anyone else who's about :hello:.

    Not been about much this week, had a quick lurk and the odd post, but up to my neck potting seedlings on. Should settle down a bit in the next couple of weeks.

    Hope your carboot goes well lemmings, OH gone to one and, like you we're not too organised - I tend to add more bits and pieces by the door after he's gone to bed (there's always room for 1 or 2, or even 3 or 8 more items - that's what knees are for ;))

    Enjoy your holiday bully, a boating holiday sounds sooooo realxing.
